Plant a Tree for Soroptimist Week

Members and officers of the SI of Malabon went to La Mesa Ecopark and helped plant trees and nurture them, as part of their participation in the SIPR Annual Soroptimist Week lineup of activities.

For the week-long commemoration, SIM also participated in the Holy Mass at the EDSA Shrine on August 31 in honor of Ms. Mariquita Castelo, who was the founder of SIPR.  Members also joined the Bowling Challenge held at San Juan City on August 29.

Mission at Hospicio de San Jose

SI Malabon officers and members visited Hospicio de San Jose in Manila, last August 27, 2011 and distributed personal hygiene products, fruits, biscuits, pre-owned clothes, slippers, and cough medicines to homeless and elderly women at the center.

Hospicio de San Jose houses 200 abandoned and elderly women aged between 55 to 98 years old.  Some of them are suffering from illnesses, while others claim to be victims of domestic violence in their younger years.

We show them our love and concern by regularly visiting them and distributing essentials, as well as entertaining them with our members' dance and singing numbers.
